Bosc pear, lime, struck flint and wet stone on the nose anticipate the brightly juicy, snappy, strongly stone-inflected impression on a polished, buoyant palate. Here is an excellent example of density allied to levity and animation such as vintage 2016 is especially capable of delivering. This finishes with an impressive sense of energy and a striking, undulating interplay of fruit and mineral elements. It’s likely to follow in a line of Leistenberg Kabinetts that display stamina in bottle. 92 points

From slate soils, the 2016 Nahe Riesling Oberhäuser Leistenberg Kabinett offers a coolish, flinty and very precise bouquet with yellow paprika and crushed stone aromas. On the palate, this is a gorgeously lush, round and elegant Riesling with generous fruit and aromatic intensity. 9% alcohol. 92 points

Clean and fresh expression of floral and fruity components flatters the olfactory perception. An alluring composition of peach, grapefruit and lime strokes the palate with gentle sweet fruit, the acidity causes a fine tingling sensation, and finally the taste buds surrender to the temptation of a delightfully creamy texture. 16.5 points
